Answer:-

The reaction of 2-bromopropane reacts with sodium iodide in acetone is an example of Sn2 reaction.

The I - attacks from backside to give the transition state for both.

If we compare the transition state for cyclobromopropane 2-bromopropane then we see in case of cyclobromopropane transition state, one of the H is very close to the incoming I -.

This results in steric strain and less stability of the transition state. Hence 2-bromopropane reacts with sodium iodide in acetone over 104 times faster than bromocyclopropane.

How would the electron configuration of nitrogen change to make a stable configuration?
AnnZ [28]

The answers to the questions are as follows;

  1. It would gain three electrons
  2. The difference in their electronegativities.
  3. The elements have filled Valence levels
  4. potassium (K) with a 1+ charge
  5. ClO-

Question 1:

  • How would the electron configuration of nitrogen change to make a stable configuration?

Since Nitrogen has 5 Valence electrons, it needs 3 electrons to attain it's octet configuration. As such, it gains 3 electrons.

Question 2:

  • Which quantity determines how two atoms bond.

The quantity which determines how two atoms bond is The difference in their electronegativities.

Question 3:

  • Which statement best explains why the elements in Group 18 do not have electronegativity values.

This is because the elements have filled Valence levels.

Question 4:

  • Based on patterns in the periodic table, which ion has a stable valence electron configuration

The ion which has a stable Valence electron configuration is potassium (K) with a 1+ charge

Question 5;

  • Which chemical formula represents a polyatomic ion?

The chemical formula which represents a polyatomic ion is; ClO-

Ni-cad (nickel–cadmium) batteries have a slightly lower cell potential than the common alkaline value of 1.5 v normally used in
Lorico [155]
The half-reaction are:

Cd ---> Cd(OH)₂
The oxidation number of Cd changed from 0 to +2. So, the number of mol electron transferred here is 2.

NiO(OH) --> Ni(OH)₂
The oxidation number of Cd changed from +3 to +2. So, the number of mol electron transferred here is 1.

Now, the greatest common factor would be 2. So, we use n=2 for the formula for ΔG°. F is Faraday's constant equal to 96,485 J/mol e.

ΔG° = nFE° = (2)(96,485)(1.5) =<em> 289,455 J</em>

3. Determine the pH of each of the following solutions. (Hint: See Sample Problem B.) a. 1.0 x 10-2 M HCI c. 1.0 x 10-MHI b. 1.0
densk [106]

Answer:

a. pH = 2 b. pH = 3 c. pH = 1 d. Unanswerable

Explanation:

pH = -log[H+] OR pH = -log{H3O+]

                    and inversely

pOH = -log[OH-]

1. Determine what substance you are working with, (acid/base)

2. Determine whether or not that acid or base is strong or weak.

a. 1.0 x 10^-2M HCl

HCl is a strong acid, therefore it will dissociate completely into H+ and Cl- with all ions going to the H+, therefore, the concentration of HCl and concentration of H+ are going to be equal, meaning we simply take the negative logarithm of the concentration of HCl and that would equal pH

pH = -log[H+]

pH = -log(1.0x10^-2)

pH = 2

b. 1.0 x 10^-3M HNO3

HNO3 like part a, is a strong acid, therefore it would simply require you to take the negative logarithm of the concentration of the compound itself, to find its pH.

pH = -log[H+]

pH = -log(1.0 x 10^-3)

pH = 3

c. 1.0 x 10^-1M HI

Like the previous parts, HI is a strong acid

pH = -log[H+]

pH = -log(0.10)

pH = 1

d. HB isn't an element, nor is it a compound so that would be unanswerable.
